[REBOL] Re: What is Mathematics?

Hi Bard,
Yes, I agree. SICP is one of my favorite programming books, possibly the
best one in print. In addition, being based on the symbolic language Scheme,
it is particulary appropriate for REBOL, which is in many ways similar to
Scheme. Thanks for drawing folks attention to it. As you noted in a
subsequent post the correct link is

For those interested in recent activities of the co-inventor (with Guy Lewis
Steele) of Scheme, there is an April 2, 2001 video lecture by Gerald
Sussman, discussing his "big picture" view of programming at
http://aduni.org/about/colloquium_schedule.tcl
Toward the end, he discusses his new book The Structure and Interpretation
of Classical Mechanics which uses Scheme to formalize thinking about
advanced mechanics. There are also lectures by Stallman, Parmenter, and
others.
Cheers
